Like All Mod Cons there are no low points.

While all the points made in defence of playlists are valid, there is something As God Intended It about listening to an album properly - ie, tracks in the correct order and ideally on vinyl, so the impact of the tracks at the end of side 1 and beginning of side 2 make themselves felt. And with no fecking disembodied singles and b-sides tacked onto the end of the CD and basically ruining the thing. Grrr.
Indeed, however it is when one creates a playlist of various artists that the concept comes into its own.

A quick perusal of my most recent creation lists 94 songs and a secondary perusal of artists at the beginning show’s such variety as Tubeway Army, The Clash, SFA, The Waterboys, The Ramones, Immaculate Fools, Bowie, Stone Foundation, Nick Heyward, Boards of Canada and naturally Weller in various guises – the 3 obvious ones plus others where he has guested on other artist albums.

And yes – Something Better Change and Peaches.
